* A Pokemon is considered an evolved Pokemon if it has a Pokemon card with a different name underneath it; this does not include Pokemon cards that are attached (e.g. tool cards, energy cards, etc.). (Jan 15, 2009 PUI Rules Team)
* Effects on the attacking Pokemon are applied before weakness and resistance. Effects on the defending Pokemon are applied after weakness and resistance. (Jan 15, 2009 PUI Rules Team)

POKEMON POWERS
----------------------------------------------------------------------
== CHILLY BREATH (Glaceon Lv.X - DP:Majestic Dawn)
Q. What happens if I Knock Out my opponent's Gengar using some kind of hit & run attack, but I bring up Glaceon Lv.X with the "Chilly Breath" Poke-BODY that shuts down Poke-Powers?
A. The Chilly Breath would shut off Gengar's Fainting Spell before it would have a chance to be used. (Jan 15, 2009 PUI Rules Team)
== ECTOPLASM (Dusknoir Lv.X - DP:Stormfront)
Q. If Dusknoir Lv.X is Knocked Out by an effect of an attack that places damage counters (such as "Damage Even"), would "Ectoplasm" trigger?
A. No, placing Damage Counters is an effect and would not trigger Ectoplasm. The attack has to do Damage in order for Ectoplasm to work. (Jan 15, 2009 PUI Rules Team)
== FAINTING SPELL (Gengar - DP:Stormfront)
Q. What happens if I Knock Out my opponent's Gengar using some kind of hit & run attack, but I bring up Glaceon Lv.X with the "Chilly Breath" Poke-BODY that shuts down Poke-Powers?
A. The Chilly Breath would shut off Gengar's Fainting Spell before it would have a chance to be used. (Jan 15, 2009 PUI Rules Team)
== SUNSHINE SONG (Torterra - DP:Stormfront)
Q. Can I evolve Treecko to Grovyle and then use Torterra's "Sunshine Song" Poke-POWER to evolve that Grovyle into Sceptile all on the same turn?
A. Yes, you can; effects like this get to ignore the normal timing rules for evolution. However, if you had used Sunshine Song to evolve Treecko into Grovyle first, you would NOT be allowed to evolve that Pokemon any further on this turn. (Jan 15, 2009 PUI Rules Team)
== TIME WALK (Azelf - DP:Legends Awakened)
Q. Can you perform Azelf's "Time Walk" with no cards in your hand just to look at your prizes and rearrange them?
A. The word "may" is used in the wording of Time Walk, so you can choose to look without switching. Since not switching is a legal choice, you can also choose to look even if you cannot switch. (Jan 15, 2009 PUI Rules Team)

== POKEDEX HANDY910is (Diamond & Pearl)
Q. Can you use "Pokédex HANDY910is" if there's only 1 card left in your deck?
A. Yes, you can. It says to draw two cards, but you do as much as you can since you only have one card in your deck. Then, you choose one to keep, so you keep the one you drew. Now, you're supposed to put the other card back, but since there is no other card you simply don't put anything back. (Jan 15, 2009 PUI Rules Team)
